GENIUS FORUMS

Sounds more than a little ominous there Bob, all this talk of desolation and tragedy. Your opening quote has Nietzsche indicating that the Kingdom of Heaven is within us here and now, but your last posts have you saying that no one understands, propogates or incorporates Christ's principles. Could y...

That's not entirely true, I'd say only the person who doesn't need a relationship is the one who can rationally enter into and maintain one. But it does take two to tango.

Heard about this documentary on the Point of Inquiry podcast recently, "The Nature of Existence".

Yawn.

There's an online pdf (in English) here :

Thanks for the youtube channel link Leyla, just what I was looking for.

Hello cousinbasil. You don't happen to go by the name "jamest" elsewhere in another forum by any chance, do you? That above quote is very familiar to me...

Catchy tune.

Eminem - Love The Way You Lie ft. Rihanna

Full of lyrical gems, like this:

Life is no Nintendo game
But you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave
Out the window
Guess that's why they call it window pane.

hahaha

Carmel, just on the last word/ego/pettiness thing with jupiviv; you are doing yourself exactly what you're accusing jupiviv of by reposting the same arguments/points in successive posts of yours. I'm pointing this out not to defend jupiviv particuarly, but just so you know it's pretty obvious that y...

Ryan, I don't have an answer, but you could try posting your questions in the Evolution & Natural Selection section at RationalSkepticism.org. http://www.rationalskepticism.org/evolution/ The site/forums has been around since February this year as a result of Richard Dawkins' decision to close t...

You seem to be assuming that any answer beyond this non-answer could be arrived at through reason. No, I'm not assuming that, quite the opposite in fact. I mean, I imagine you've stopped playing with the toys you had when you were a kid, right? (... Right?) :) I mean, come on, Robert, you can't tel...

But you're not asking about a particular thing, you're asking about reality itself - "why does reality exist at all?". Big difference. Big difference, yes, but not one that's dealt with by the reasoning that you presented. In any case, I acknowledge that it's at the very least a difficult...

What therefore is logic to question why when there is no logic for existence established, existence however is an absolute. So why is also the question put forth as to why there is logical existence when there is no logic for existence. Which is in principle a more plausible question to find possib...

"Why does reality exist at all?" Diebert said it so well I saved it as a text file for these very occasions: "The axiom of existence: that something exists and not not-exists. It comes before the "why". As logic cannot go further than the axioms it's based on, the question ...

Thank you, Skip, for being the only person so far to acknowledge that I have raised a legitimate problem, and for acknowledging what I consider to be - given the absence of a comprehensive one - the only sane answer to that problem: "I have no idea". Laird, if you seriously think that by ...

Um, belief or non belief is irrelevant to a truth. Beliefs can be false or true, hence delusional or non-delusional, contrary to your assertion. If something is true, why the need for belief? Identifying a truth renders belief unnecessary, superfluous. Think of it this way. All beliefs are consciou...

Um, belief or non belief is irrelevant to a truth.

So near, and yet so far. All beliefs are delusions. Fancy a dance?

Modified/corrected version, The Wisdom of the Infinite, by David Quinn Kelly, apart from the error you highlighted (spelling of "naïve"), I didn't find any other accent or character problems. If you find any in this version, let me know. I did notice one (fairly major) error that I left un...

Thought I may as well make a PDF version of The Wisdom of the Infinite, by David Quinn, which may be helpful for some who prefer this popular ebook format.

Kelly Jones wrote:Robert, the font is attractive, and generally the formatting is fine. But headings are often at the bottom of a page.

For anyone interested, here's a link to download a PDF version of Poison for the Heart.

Yeah Kelly seemed to have dropped the ball there. Jews are a religion, not a race. To be fair prince, Kelly didn't say they were. She was talking about the Australian temperament and the make up of it's population in general terms. (There you go Alex, free ammunition for your 'adolescent female def...
